Coming off a 3-2 OT dub yesterday, the Canucks confronted the Canadiens in the back half of a critical pair of back-to-back games. While game one went in the Canucks favour, game two was snagged by the Habs 5-4 in the shootout and both teams ended the series with three standings points. Warm-Up The game…
Warm-Up The Vancouver Canucks faced Tyler Toffoli and the Montreal Canadiens for the eighth time in this unprecedented regular season. They attempted to hold onto a three game win streak, winning 7 out of their last 9 games. More importantly, the Canucks sit on the tails of the Habs in the North Division standings, so…
In the first week of February, the Canucks published a schedule of “Theme Nights” in efforts to celebrate “the team’s diverse community and fanbase.” something missing, idk https://t.co/NAjfkQ19eZ pic.twitter.com/ZVfDJ90Im4 — jasper (@watrich) February 3, 2021 I, along with many others, noticed the absence of any Black History Month (BHM) events, which was glaringly obvious and…
Warm-Up After a tough loss on Thursday, the Vancouver Canucks re-engaged with the Flames in the second of four consecutive games. Heading into tonight’s game, the Canucks carried a six-game losing streak.

Warm-Up The Canucks had a rather eventful evening ahead of themselves at Rogers Arena, kicking off the first of four consecutive games against the Flames. Their five-game losing streak isn’t the prettiest on paper, but a return to home ice could do wonders. Plus, I really don’t want to make another sad fancam, so make…
i miss him (troy) AND her (phoebe) 😭 pic.twitter.com/U5w3Y57ZND — clarissa! (@quinnsedgework) November 28, 2020 I know the sadness and disappointment that comes with players leaving teams is due to the attachment to said players or the blatant holes in the roster left by their departure, but most of my heartbreak comes from the separation…
New season, new alternate jerseys? This morning, the NHL posted a promotional preview, teasing reverse-retro jersey colours per team: #ReverseRetro @adidashockey pic.twitter.com/B9nhVAyK0b — NHL (@NHL) November 10, 2020 Each jersey had a particular number, seemingly the year the throwback design will refer to. Canucks users were quick in identifying the ’01’ jersey, leading many to think…
Which Canucks players showed some Halloween spirit this year, and who had the best costume? Due to COVID-19 circumstances, the players couldn’t coordinate group costumes like last year’s Shrek and Peaky Blinders themes, but that didn’t stop them from dressing up. Here’s seven Canucks (or their children) in some frightening, adorable, and hilarious costumes last…
Every time I check Elias Pettersson’s Instagram or Twitter, he’s doing something. First, it was his silly response to my basketball challenge. Occasionally, it’s a scooter ride along the Vancouver Seawall. Now, this: @_EPettersson as a tendy….video coming soon 🤭🤭 pic.twitter.com/BMPhuCONSq — On The Bench (@onthebenchcrew) October 10, 2020 On social media, hockey personalities Olly…
Nate Schmidt’s first media availability as a Vancouver Canuck on Tuesday was highly-acclaimed. It was the first time fans got a glimpse at the defenceman’s outgoing personality. He fills one of two holes left by Chris Tanev and Troy Stetcher, both of whom walked in free agency after negotiations with the Canucks fell through. Though…
Throughout the 2020 NHL Stanley Cup Playoffs, I sacrificed my habitual snack runs and bathroom breaks during Hockey Night in Canada’s intermissions because of its most recent panellist addition: former Vancouver Canucks and Anaheim Ducks defenceman, Kevin Bieksa. The rise of Kevin Bieksa, the breakout media star of the 2020 NHL playoff. Burke: "He’s very…
A lesson learned: Tweet at your favourite athlete, they’ll respond if they’re a beauty like Petey. On Thursday around 10:00 PM, I was in bed scrolling down #HockeyTwitter, which was relatively dead due to it being an off-day from the 2020 Stanley Cup Finals between the Tampa Bay Lightning and Dallas Stars. I just recently…
